Hallo,
I am new to this list and have a problem that I don't understand:
For the last week or more I have experienced a strange problem on my mail:
retry timeout-errors on certain mail.
I have a dialup system to my ISP ans is using exim as mailagent on a
Debian 2.0 system.
What is strange to me is that this error is very "selective" eg. I sent
mail to a list of 41 people and when I do a mailq a few minutes later
(before I dialed in to the ISP) the following shows (the list is shortened
to save some space):
1.7K 10f0Yy-0001iX-00 <jhspies@???>
aabasson@???
D CMarais@???
D HJBC@???
conni@???
D johanzac@???
D vdberg@???
barry1@???
Only the messages with the D got the time-out error and I have no idea
why.
In the /var/log/exim/mainlog I find the following:
1999-05-05 14:14:10 10f0Yy-0001iX-00 == HJBC@??? R=smarthost
defer (-1):
1999-05-05 14:14:10 10f0Yy-0001iX-00 == CMarais@??? R=smarthost

1999-05-05 14:14:10 10f0Yy-0001iX-00 == aabasson@??? R=smarthost
defer (-1):

1999-05-05 14:14:10 10f0Yy-0001iX-00 ** HJBC@???: retry timeout

1999-05-05 14:14:10 10f0Yy-0001iX-00 ** johanzac@???: retry
timeout exceeded
1999-05-05 14:14:10 10f0Yy-0001iX-00 ** vdberg@???: retry

Is there anybody who knows exim well that can help me please?
Johann

"Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love
thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto
you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do
good to them that hate you, and pray for them which
despitefully use you, and persecute you;"
